In one myth, Orion boasted he would kill all the wild animals on the earth. But, the earth goddess Gaia, who was the protector of all animals, produced a gigantic scorpion, whose body was so heavily encased that Orion was unable to pierce through the armour, and was himself stung to death. His companion Artemis was greatly saddened and arranged for Orion to be immortalised among the stars. Scorpius, the scorpion, was placed on the opposite side of the sky so that Orion would never be hurt by it again. To this day, Orion is never seen in the sky at the same time as Scorpius.

High and intermediate resolution observations of the depends on the nebula’s velocity field, which on its side is deter- blue and the Hα spectral regions of the symbiotic star AG Dra mined by the components’ interaction. That is why investigation at quiescence and during an active phase in 1994 and 1995 of the interaction in the symbiotic stars is of prime importance were performed. Variationsof profiles, fluxes and radial velocity for understanding their nature. data of a number of emission lines are investigated. The width The star AG Dra (BD +67◦922) is a known symbiotic (FWHM) of all of these lines was very large at times close to the system with high galactic latitude, large barycentric velocity 1 1994 light maximum. The emission measure of the surrounding γ = 148 km s− and a relatively early spectral type (K). Its nebula was also calculated using Balmer continuum emission photometric− period is about 550d (Meinunger 1979; Skopal on the basis of U photometric observations from the literature. 1994). The consistency of this period with the orbital period It turned out that at the times of the 1994 and 1995 visual light of the binary is confirmed by radial velocity variations of the maxima the emission measure has increased by a factor of 15 cool primary component, measured by Garcia & Kenyon (1988), and 8 respectively, compared with its quiescent maximal value.

  • Stars and Their Spectra: an Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89954-3 - Stars and Their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B. Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.
